I have seen a lot of prescriptions for kids under 2 years old (sometimes 4 or 5 months old) for Claritin. I have looked in Lexi-Comp and there is no dosage for children under the age of 2. Does anyone know what the dosage is?

Thank you for contributing to this thread.

Are you a pharmacist? Are there really no retail jobs at all in the whole state?!

There seems to be few retail job openings here in Missouri because I have not received any responses from the jobs that I have applied for. For those who are in other states, where can I get a retail pharmacist job easily? I was thinking about California, but you need 1500 intern hours? Is that...
